Question: 7 . ) Two specimens of a same sand were prepared for direct shear tests. Specimen A wa: prepared to a dry density of 1

7.) Two specimens of a same sand were prepared for direct shear tests. Specimen A wa: prepared to a dry density of 1.56kNm3 while the dry density of specimen B was 1.78kNm3. Both specimens were sheared dry under the same normal stress of 100kPa. Th dry density corresponding to the critical void ratio of the sand under 100kPa is 1.65kNm Please sketch the variation of shear stress vs. shear displacement and change of thicknes of the specimen vs. shear displacement for specimen A and B. Mark A and B clearly (10%)
